And it has some redefinitions in some subclasses, I don�t understand why :-)

Thanks everybody, it is nice to see I am not alone..
Yes, Stef, the API is the same, but the sematics is not. I mean, I muuuch prefer to change it, but indeed, there will be a change in the "behavior". What I mean is that all test cases that were using #assert:equals: in the "correct" way� (correct I mean to what SUnit says), then after will be "incorrect". I don't care. The only problem is that when they debugger the message will be incorrect.
But it is as always....or improve or be backward compatibility....

So... +1 to the change

Here is the issue tracker:� http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=4129

if we finally agree, I can submit the fix.

Cheers

Mariano

I think I'm responsible for this non sense, sorry about that. When I
put the parameters in this order, I thought the result would be
similar to JUnit in which 'expected' is always before 'actual'.
Unfortunately, it looks like I just forgot to read the whole sentence:
'self assert that something equals 42' reads much better than the
other way around. I don't think too much code depends on this
#assert:equals: method as it has only been introduced recently.

I vote for changing the order.
